| Rapid Disclaimer, I'm mixing some science with my own opinions and
experiences. This may be meaningless, but here goes.
Facts are: Everyone who ovulates has a cervical mucous change at
midcycle with the cervical mucous getting "stringier" and more profuse.
Cervixes change after every pregnancy, no matter how they were ended.
(childbirth, miscarriage, or abortion.) Generally the cervix gets
larger and the opening is also larger.
Opinion and personal experience. I also didn't notice much of a
discharge before my first child was born. Afterwards, I started
noticing that I was alot more slippery at midcycle, and since my
second was born, I have a virtual torrent. I have two ideas of why
this has happened but no solutions to your problem, other than to
stop ovulating. Your cervix has more area and therfore more space
to create its mucous at ovulation. My other idea is that after
a pregnancy and birth you may notice more of what your body is doing
than you did before your child was born. The combination of both
is what I've decided is why I seem to notice my cycle and it's effect
on me more.
If you've been to the doctor, and have a clean bill of health, I
guess the only thing to say is live with it (my solution for me),
look at it as an advantage for fertility detection, and feel like
changing your clothes every two hours. I also know what that feels
like.
Good luck,
Meg

| This is the problem for which they developed those lightweight
panty liners, like thin sanitary pads. Helps keep down the
laundry.
I find that avoiding salt during that week helps reduce the ache
quite a lot. And eating a high-bulk snack, such as unsalted
popcorn or raw vegetables, for two or three days also helps
sometimes.
If the pain gets too bad, there's always (assuming you're not
nursing) aspirin/tylenol/ibuprofen.
